    Hi manoj_0911 ,

     

    To replace a data source in Power BI Desktop, you can follow these steps:
    - Open your Power BI report in Power BI Desktop.
    - Navigate to 'Home' > 'Transform Data' > 'Data source settings'.

    - In the 'Data source settings' window, select the data source you wish to change and click on 'Change Source'.
    - Update the connection details for your new data source and click 'OK'.
    You may need to refresh your tables or queries if the data structure of your new source differs from the original.


    Best Regards,
